@RuffianIsQueen: #Runhappy jogged 2 miles this morning, most on his own! He's such an amazing horse despite how the fandom wants to see. #GoHap!
The odds of this horse making it's next race are getting slimmer each passing day.

Just gross. I can't imagine they won't pay the girl? Or maybe I can.

Taking the horse away is one thing -- it makes no sense in a vacuum but this is what he does. It's terrible but it's not new to this owner.

But not paying the trainer is a totally different and lower low.

Does it work like that? I thought the track held the money and distributed it to jockey and trainer, just to avoid this sort of thing.

No. The trainers get paid by the owners.
